Bruce, the vice president of the Institute of Magic, sat in front of the test bench, with a pair of round rimless glasses on the high bridge of his nose, looking intently at a magic report, his brows sometimes slightly furrowed, sometimes scattered, probably hearing footsteps, looking up to see me coming, nodding to me gently, pointing to the sofa next to him, and not speaking.I could only sit obediently on the couch next to me and wait quietly for him to review the mountains of information.Out of boredom, I began to look closely at the lab, and saw that the wall on the left-hand side of Vice Dean Bruce was full of data cabinets, and on the right-hand side was a neat row of bookshelves, those black leather magic books, neatly stacked on them, like a wall of books.The young magician's assistant brought me a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of me, then smiled at me in a friendly way, and whispered to me in a low voice, "Wait a minute, Master Bruce is dealing with the backlog of application forms, and it will be fine in a moment!"
”"Thank you, senior brother!"
I hurriedly thanked him, because they were all in the position of assistant magicians of the same level, and I politely called him senior brother.The young magician's assistant smiled and nodded when he saw that I was good at talking, and turned and walked out.There were various skeletal specimens of demonic beasts on the floor in the middle of the laboratory, and there were not many demonic beasts that I could recognize, among which I found a skeleton specimen of a cerberus in the corner, and next to this specimen, there was also a specimen of a petrified lizard, and there was an unopened demonic core in the cranial cavity of the huge skull.Holding a teacup, he was carefully looking at the skeleton of a huge petrified lizard that was almost four meters long, thinking about how to deal with it if he met such a big guy in the future, it is said that once bitten by it, the toxins in its mouth will make the corpse slowly become stiff like a rock, and finally completely turn into a stone, very terrifying, it is said that the body of this monster inherits a trace of Medusa blood.This can't help but make me think that Medusa is a fourth-level demonic beast that is half human and half snake after all, and the inheritance of the bloodline can still affect the lizard clan, and the taste of this Medusa is also unique enough.The petrified lizard belongs to the top of the second-level magical beasts, and the other characteristic of the petrified lizard is that its leather is very tough, and the defense ability of the hard leather armor made is comparable to that of metal armor, and the weight is only half of that of metal armor.Many shield warriors prefer to wear the hard leather outfit of a petrified lizard, which reduces the weight on their body and allows them to hold a tower shield as heavy as a door panel.Suddenly, I heard someone behind me say: "A little water essence scattered in this world by Eva, the god of the water element, will slowly give birth to a new water element when it enters the condensed water element, which is the reason why the entire water element world is formed." ”I turned around and saw Dean Bruce walking over slowly, his eyes focused on Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit beside me, and asked me, "The first time I saw you, I discovered her existence, and she is the reason why you are in a hurry to see me?"
”"Yes, Dean Bruce."
I said respectfully.Originally, I thought that Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit should be hiding in a world that ordinary people can't see, but I didn't expect that so many magicians would feel Sister Guoguo's existence.Vice Dean Bruce stood in front of me and pondered for a moment before saying, "This kind of magic pattern construction task is not something that can be done casually, so its reward is also very rare, I can give you another chance to choose, and it is up to you to decide what you want to choose." ”I looked at him and wanted to hear the options he had given me.He glanced at me and said, "The first option is for you to reach the top of the ninth rank.
At peak times, you can rush through the bottleneck of a turn without any obstacles, and you have to know how many magicians are stuck in this bottleneck and cannot successfully complete the first transfer. ”Dean Bruce had a wise look in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through my soul.Ask yourself, is that what I need?
No, of course not.I shook my head firmly."
So, are you going to stick to your original choice?"
Vice Dean Bruce's eyes were bright, and the old wrinkles on his face made it impossible to guess his true age.Hearing him ask, I quickly nodded."
Well, I have some things to understand about this water elemental spirit, maybe you will give me the right answer, so that I can have a more accurate judgment."
Vice Dean Bruce said.He slowly approached Sister Guoguo's Water Elemental Spirit, and Sister Guoguo didn't resist, just looked at him with the same curiosity."
I'm willing to tell you everything I know!"
I said to him sincerely.He glanced at me, nodded, and then stood in front of Sister Guoguo, stretched out a finger and pointed at Sister Guoguo, but I didn't expect Guoguo, who didn't have any thinking ability, to stretch out his hand in a daze, the action of Vice Dean Bruce, the two people's fingertips touched together, and in Sister Guoguo's transparent body, dark blue lines clearly appeared all over the body.I heard Bruce ask me: "I can't figure out why she will unconsciously always follow you, you know, even if you used to be a dear person, when she became an unconscious water elemental spirit, she is like an unconscious baby at this time, but it is the heaven and earth in nature that gave birth to her, how can she always follow your side without leaving?"
”"You know what?
Her existence is a very special situation, generally the newborn water element will wander in the world of the water element, which is usually difficult for us to come into contact with, but this water element is different, it actually wanders in the Roland Continent, and it is not you who use magic contracts or magic to detain it, because her body is extremely pure. ”He pointed to the demonic array that appeared on the surface of Sister Guoguo's body, and said to me in an extremely ethereal tone: "What a pure water elemental origin power, pure without any impurities, without any interference from other demonic arrays, this is the purest water elemental physique. ”At this time, he opened his eyes again, and the pupils in his eyes had disappeared, and his eyes were only blazing white.Bruce cautiously examined every inch of Sister Guoguo's body, and finally sighed softly before closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, those eyes had returned to their original appearance."
What's going on?
You must know!
”Bruce asked, his eyes sharp as a needle.Memories carry me back to that night in the town of Gurudin, when I spoke of the Mondstadt Troa mage trying to steal my bloodline talent.Vice Dean Bruce let out a heavy snort in his nose, and said coldly: "Those heretics of the Dark Arts Hermitage have really long hands, it seems that Charles's strength in this purge is still too clear!"
”Then I talked about Sister Guoguo, riding a horse and taking me to gallop on the wasteland.Bruce narrowed his eyes and stared at me and asked, "None of the old shamans huddled in the town of Gurudin?"
How could their spiritual leader, Kulepaulos, allow the defense of Gruudin to be like a piece of paper?
How long have you been living in the wasteland, don't you know that those wolf orcs have noses that are smarter than dogs, how can they not save you?
”I gave Bruce a blank look and just whispered, "I don't know." ”"No, you must know!"
Bruce asserted categorically.I lamented and spread my hands, silently awakening the four magical elements in each node of my body, in front of Bruce, the moment my hands clenched into fists, the elemental power condensed in my hands was poured into the stone drum totem, and the four series of stone drum totems were like four lanterns of different colors, suspended around my body."
Hahahaha, I see!
What the hell is Kulepaolos doing?
The secret of the orc shaman's original magical power was brought back to Green by you so easily?
”The confusion in Bruce's eyes seemed to dawn on him, and he laughed as he spoke, but he disdained the so-called secrets.He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Then those orcs don't want to run out to save you, you have learned the core magic of others, how can you easily leave the Pai Plateau?"
”Bruce then sighed with a long sigh: "Between the carelessness of the survival of the race and the family affection of life and death, those orcs chose the former after all!"
”At this time, I completely understood the true meaning of the words that the liger Rengar said before he died, thinking that Old Kuru rushed out of the orc elder's courtyard to save me under great pressure, and was finally restrained in place by the powerful one, this great elder of the blood wolf clan, the only remaining weaver of the blood wolf clan, suffered what kind of powerful force suppression, the situation can be imagined.Thinking of these sufferings, it was actually me who comprehended the true meaning of the stone drum totem, and I felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart, when old Kuru taught me the first magic anti-magic technique, it was clearly to relieve the pain of burning my body by the fire poison of the burning fruit in my body.As soon as this opening was opened, all kinds of magic came one after another, and at that time, it was clear that Kuz and I had become brothers.But in the end, we did a great job for the orcs: walking the wasteland and helping the hungry orcs.Quelling the grey dwarf bandits.Exterminate the Harpy Lair.Build a city at the Drowned Anchor and clean up the swamp zombies.He taught the orcs how to make vermicelli, boil salt, make meat floss bricks, make oil stoves, and make corpse fire oil.All this gives those orcs no reason to kill me, but is it really for me to leave the orc tribe alive and return to the Grimm Empire with all this secret?
It turns out that this is the problem.Seeing that Bruce's time was precious, I didn't dare to delay in the slightest, sorted out my chaotic thoughts, and then said that we fled to the Urutu River, and Sister Guoguo performed a water escape technique, turning into a water element and drifting down the Urutu River.In the end, we were intercepted by Mondtroa on the edge of the Hundred Waterfalls Cliff, and Sister Guoguo was forced to become helpless, and after turning into a water elemental, she cast the Death Ice Coffin to freeze Mondtroa in it, intending to die with him.And I fell into the cliff of a hundred waterfalls, along hundreds of large and small waterfalls, and smashed directly into the Benma River nearly a thousand meters below, and I stopped here."
I see!
It turns out that she turned into a water elemental and carried you to float in the river, and your body could absorb the water elemental magic around your body very weakly, and part of her body merged with your body. ”He said excitedly.Bruce finally understood why Sister Guoguo turned into the water element, and why this spirit of the water element was able to maintain Sister Guoguo's form no longer in an unconscious state, because her original body was Sister Guoguo's.Vice Dean Bruce continued: "It is precisely because she used the Death Ice Coffin in the state of the water elemental that after her death, the water element that her body turned into came into contact with the essence of water, and she actually gave birth to the spirit of the water element. ”Then he raised another question: "But this water elemental spirit should be extremely pure, and the soul of the fruit should ascend to the kingdom of God, and should not stay in the body of the water elemental spirit, what is the reason for this?"
”I took out a jet-black chain from my magic waist bag, the soul shackles I obtained from Mondtroia, and then said to Vice Dean Bruce: "Originally, Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit was imprisoned in this chain by Mondtroia, and this chain has always been carried by Mondtroia, and later he became the head of the Dark Magic Hermitage in the province of Sleuth, and met again in El City, and wanted to kill me, but I didn't expect that El City is my home after all, where my teacher Heidi, my friend Morayal, So in the end, he died, and only this chain remained, and Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit was released from this chain. ”Bruce looked at the soul shackles in his hand repeatedly, and said slowly, "It turns out that this is the reason why her mutilated soul stays in the water elemental spirit!"
”Sighing softly, Bruce looked down at me and said, "I can directly let her broken soul ascend to the kingdom of God!"
”I stubbornly shouted, "No, I want her to wake up!"
Sister Guoguo is still alive!
”In the past few years, I have been working hard to wake up Sister Guoguo, is it just because of Bruce's words that I will change my decision?
It's a joke.Bruce persuaded me earnestly: "This water element is just a water elemental life that has been conceived, it is only by relying on the instinct in the water elemental body that the whole body including the face is very similar to your sister, your sister is dead, she only has a little broken soul left, why don't you let her soul ascend to the kingdom of God to rest in peace, how do you know if she is willing to become an elemental life?"
”I immediately retorted, "I don't know either, whether she wants to ascend to the kingdom of God or not, I want to awaken her soul memory!"
”I looked up and faced Bruce directly.Bruce exhaled softly and said, "Okay!
Since you've decided, and this is the reward from the Academy of Magic, I can tell you the way to awaken her soul, but it doesn't really matter much whether I say it or not, because awakening a broken soul is not something you can do if you know the method.It requires three key factors, all three of which are indispensable, and you must be clear about one thing, when this water elemental spirit awakens its own rudimentary wisdom, all your efforts and preparations will be in vain!
”Bruce asked me again, "Are you sure you want to save her?"
”I said with great firmness: "I'm sure!"
”
